SYSTEMS WITH redoX CONTROL

MAINTENANCE
During the first 10-15 days your pool system will require more attention and the following care:
Make sure the pH remains on the ideal level (7,2 - 7,5). If the pH is unusually unstable and uses a lot of acid check the alkalinity
(recommended levels between 80 y 125 ppm).
The pool must be vacuumed and the skimmers cleaned whenever necessary to ensure perfect water conditions.
REMEMBER that the system requires a certain amount of time to adapt to your swimming pool and will require additional chemicals during the first 3-5 days.
Maintenance of the disinfection system (electrolysis) consists of cleaning the cell or every 2-3 months. If necessary, carry out a
monthly visual inspection. To clean the cell:
Remove the cell from its support (after turning off the filtration system and closing off the necessary valves).
Place the cell for no more than 10 minutes in 15% hydrochloric acid (1,5 l of acid for each 8,5 l of water).
Once the incrustations have softened remove with a hose to complete cleaning the cell.
DO NOT USE METALIC OR SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE INCRUSTATIONS. Scratching the edges or surface of the cell will make it
vulnerable to chemicals, deteriorate the cell and cancel the guarantee.
The pool must be vacuumed as usual and the skimmers emptied whenever necessary.
FILTER BACKWASHING: The system requires only occasional filter backwashing; once every 20 days should be sufficient (providing
the filter pressure does not exceed 1 bar, in which case a backwash may be necessary).
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the cell is off while backwashing the filter. If the system controls the filtration pump, disconnect the cell by unplugging the RCA flow
detector while backwashing (see section Cell in the Description).
ADDING NEW WATER: Always through the skimmers so that the new water passes through the Hidrolife before entering the pool.
Remember to add the necessary salt (6 gr) per added liter of water.
In winter changing the pool water is not recommendable. We recommend that the system runs 2-3 times per week (2-3 hours per day).
DOSING PUMPS: Check regularly to ensure that the container contains liquid to prevent the dosing pump of running dry. The dosing
pump requires maintenance (SEE INSTRUCTIONS ON BOX).
pH PROBES / redoX / CONDUCTIVITY: Probes must be cleaned whenever necessary (check every 5-6 months). To clean the probe
insert in distilled water (clear liquid). After each cleaning the probes must be calibrated. Also: the probes must be kept wet (if stored).

The redoX value advises us of the oxidation/reduction potential and is used to determine the level of water sterilization. The parameters
or setpoints are the minimum/maximum accepted redoX levels before the titanium cell is connected/disconnected. Adjusting the ideal
redoX level (setpoint) is the last step in the Hidrolife start up sequence. To find the optimum redoX levels for your
pool follow these steps:
Connect the pool filtration system (the salt in the pool must be adequately dissolved).
Add chlorine to the pool till a level of 1-1,5 ppm is achieved (approx. 1-1,5 gr/ m
3
of water). pH levels should be between 7,2 - 7,5.
After 30 min. test the free chlorine levels in the pool (manual test kit DPD1) if the free chlorine level is between 0,8 - 1,0 ppm.
Look at the redoX screen and memorize this level as the setpoint to CONNECT / DISCONNECT the electrolysis cell.
The next day check free chlorine levels (manual test kit DPD1) and redoX. Raise / lower setpoint if necessary.
Remember to check the redoX set-point every 2-3 month and/or if the water parameters change (pH / temperature / conductivity).
